【英譯漢】
The idea of aligning waking hours to daylingt hours to conserve candles was first proposed in 1784 by US polymath Benjamin Franklin. In a satirical letter to the editor of The Journal of Paris, Franklin suggested that waking up earlier in the summer would economize candle usage and calculated considerable savings.
讓人睡醒後的時間和太陽升起後的時間一致，以節省火燭，這個主意是美國博物學家本傑明富蘭克林於1784年首次提出的。在一封寫給巴黎雜誌的諷刺信裏，富蘭克林提出，夏季早起可以減少蠟燭用量，他還算出了可觀的節省效益。
